Good evening everyone,

I was wondering if anyone has a Modded Define S Front Panel like the above link for sale or would be willing to mod mine as I don't have the tools? (Of course, I'd be paying for this)

Ideally, I would like it exactly the same as the above, but with the Meshify C black mesh grill, but straight mesh, not the crinkled mesh.

Many thanks,

Adam

I'd be interested in the results of this!

Making that cut in the front panel would be very difficult to do and get a good finish. Just saying. I think you might find that an acceptable job would be more expensive than a new case.

This is a Define S. I bought some "Computer Mesh Case Fan Cooler Dust Filter Network Net Case Dust-proof Covers" from the auctions for under £8. Then used a dremel to cut out the front with around a one inch remaining rim. Then double-sided tape and glued a piece of mesh to the front. I've also put thin strips around the sides on the inside which means I don't need the inside filter panel. Really isn't hard. It means you don't have to worry so much abot the front being perfect because you can only see the mesh. It's a meshify thing. Looks better than that pic.

Oh, and a massive increase in cooling. Those fans are attached to a 360mm rad which is much more effective now.
